ABSTRACT
A patient with B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL) who has had a prolonged survival is presented. The patient was diagnosed incidentally while asymptomatic, but later developed progressive disease. He was refractory to alkylating agents and fludarabine, but responded to treatment with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. This patient's prolonged survival may be due partly to his diagnosis at an indolent phase, possibly representing the early phase of the natural course of the disease. Diagnosis, clinical course, and treatment options for PLL are discussed.
